Customer Reviews

"Bathroom Renovation.....Kris completed our bathroom Reno."

"Kris completed a shower replacement for us. He is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He assisted and advised us through the whole process. Kris was always here when promised and every day he would clean up the work area. He also connected us with an electrician to complete some other work we required and that was so appreciated. I would highly recommend Straightline Renovations and Repairs. Thanks Kris for doing such a great job."

"Kris is extremely reliable and very hardworking. He began the reno on our agreed date, and completed it in a timely fashion. Thanks, Kris! As we went through the process he was always willing to discuss any changes that needed to be made, which I appreciated. The result is outstanding and in many ways has transformed our house, adding a space to relax and for family and friends to stay. He is an excellent, highly skilled, contractor and I recommend him you without reservation."

"After an unfortunate sewer back-up, our partially finished basement had to be restored. We hired Kris to complete the work for us after receiving a professional recommendation for him. He took our basement from looking like a bit of a dungeon (even before the back-up!) to a bright and welcoming space. He was great at communicating his progress throughout the job and finished on schedule, with great attention to detail. Honestly, after everything that happened with our basement, sewer water and all, we are grateful that Kris came to our rescue and made it look so much better than before. Very happy and excited about our restored space."

"Kris recently completed the renovation of our ensuite and guest bathrooms. Kris provided an accurate estimate ahead of the job, started on time and completed the project within the estimated timeframe. Our ensuite is relatively small but Kris was able to significantly increase the size in width and height of our shower utilizing wasted space. It’s now the ensuite of our dreams. The guest bathroom is equally as beautiful. He provides sound advice on design and functionality. Kris arrived on time every day and his work area was always cleaned up at the end of the day. All in all, our expectations were exceeded. We recommend Kris (Straightline Renovations and Repairs) without hesitation."

"Straightline came in and gutted our old basement and made it a beautiful cozy new place for our family to hangout! The work entailed a little bit of everything….moving walls, plumbing, new flooring. All done on time and on budget and it looks amazing! Would highly recommend. We’re so happy with the work we’ve scheduled a bathroom renovation with straightline as well!!"

"Kris at Straightline Renovations and Repairs will always do his best to accommodate any job small or big for his clients. I have used Kris many times now and he comes through for you every time. I've gotten to know him well. I consider him an professional contractor and a friend. Thanks for everything Kris!"

"He did a great job. Works non stop with skills and I will hire him again. He was straight forward honest guy and would have no problem recommending Kris. Thanks Kris for a job well done."

"We have used Kris on two different projects. The first time in our kitchen and tiling on our main floor and washroom. This was an extensive job that required demolition, removal of walls and installation of tiles, electrical, plumbing etc. Recently he renovated our main floor washroom by removing the tub surround and installing a new bathtub, tiles, drywall and fixtures. On both occasions Kris has always provided excellent work. He shows up everyday and works hard when he arrives and does not leave the place a mess. Kris is very good at his craft and is very easy to work with, you will not be disappointed by hiring him!!"

"First of all Kris was amazing! Back in late June 2023 due to heavy rain in Welland our rental property had sustained significant water damage for our lower tenant. We addressed and solved the water issue and got a restoration team to do the cleanup and setup a clear, clean unit for Kris to do his work. We saw quality work from Kris, he was able to box in a required sump pump we had installed for this basement unit. Kris did all the drywall, install some new cabinets, replaced the flooring and repainted the unit to the way it was. He really and truly brought the unit back to the way it looked prior to the water damage loss. It was such a relief to see it all come together again. He did this well within our budget and within a reasonable amount of time. My sister and I can't thank Kris enough for his help through this process. We give him 5 Stars across the board all day long. Thank you Kris!"

"Kris came and saved us from our nightmare of a situation with our bathroom reno. After several failed attempts with other contractors, Kris was referred to us. He was very quick to respond. He came and assessed our situation within a reasonable time and gave us a fair quote. There was a bit of a wait for him to come and start but he managed to squeeze us in and he got the project done within a good time. He was a very hard worker and we are so pleased with our bathroom now. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get some work done. Thanks Kris!"

"Kris did an amazing job in our total bathroom renovation. He reversed the location of the tub and shower which gave us a lot more room.He also came up with a great solution to updating our aged skylight in there. Kris was always punctual. He arrived each morning on time and worked non-stop until he finished for the day. Kris was mindful of the mess that a reno creates and did everything he could to keep the rest of our house clean.He had good suggestions for us. In summary, Kris was professional, knowledgeable and his workmanship was outstanding. We would highly recommend him!"

"Kris renovated our main bathroom and did a fantastic job! He had to replace all the old, 1960's plumbing, which required pulling up all the floor boards due to lack of access from below. He installed new plumbing, a standing shower, separate standing tub, and a new vanity. All of his tiling work was impeccable. He was on time, reliable, and a pleasure to interact with. We will definitely call him for any future work."

"Kris did a fabulous job on my total bathroom renovation. He was professional, knowledgeable and very thorough, neat and efficient. Time lines were explained up front and all were met. Kris gave suggestions on design that worked beautifully and fit perfectly with my vision for a fresh spa like bathroom. I’m addition to the complete bathroom renovation Kris was able to complete two other jobs that I had wanted done for awhile. He and his colleagues also did a fantastic job and everyone took pride in their work. They worked fast and efficiently with great suggestions based on their experience. This was my first experience with a renovation project and I am so glad Kris had been referred to me. Would not hesitate to recommend Kris and hope to work with him again for future renovation projects."

"Kris did a great job renovating our old bathroom built in the 70's. He's very knowledgeable and quality of work is excellent. Communicated with us if he came across something wrong knowing it's an older home. Was quick to figure things out with all his experience with no problems. He replaced walls, tub, toilet, vanity, sink, floors, tiles, plumbing and installed all fixtures. The work was excellent and in a timely fashion, he was professional worked clean and clean up was done very well also. We would not hesitate to recommend him."

"I was very satisfied with my kitchen Reno, Kris was very good with communicating and adapting to delays with suppliers during this difficult time. The quality of work was exceptional and i would not hesitate to recommend his company for your project."

"For me what makes a good contractor is one that shows up when he says he will and sees the job thru to the end in a timely manner for the agreed price. What makes a great contractor is one that does all that as well as overcoming any unforeseen problems as well as offering advice for improvements to the overall job. This job presented some tricky problems that were handled masterfully. All the suggested changes were great ideas. These ideas come from lots of experience. Thank you"

"My husband and I decided our 20 year old shower, built by the contractor when the house was built needed to be replaced. We searched for a local contractor and came across a site with very positive reviews for Straightline Renovations. We contacted Kris and he promptly came to our house for a quote. Kris was very personable and knowledgable. He gave us a start and ending time and his timeline was accurate. He communicated effectively during the reno and asked for input during the process. The finished product exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Straightline Renovations."

"Quality of work was very good. The home was an older home that had some challenges. Straightline quickly adapted and made all necessary modifications without significantly affecting the budget. I was kept informed on the progress of work and the work was completed in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to have Straightline do future work for me."

"Kris did a great job of renovating our main floor. From replacing all the flooring to installing new kitchen cabinets and backsplash and installing a new tiled shower plus vanity in our ensuite bathroom. Kris's attention to detail is amazing, he makes sure everything is done right. His work ethic is second to none. We would not hesitate to recommend him."

"Straightline Renovations was great to us. Responses to emails both before estimate and afterwards were quick. Kris listened to what we were looking for and was able to do it for us with for an appropriate amount. Kris was flexible to adding additional (small) projects to the work that was initially agreed upon, which was greatly appreciated. The work was done in a timely manner and the results are excellent. We will not hesitate to contact Kris again when we have our next project!"

"We discovered not long after moving to in our home that the shower in our main bathroom was leaking quite badly. Kris from Straightline renovations came and gave us a quote for removal of the old shower, cleanup and building a new tile shower in the existing space. The work was excellent, done in a timely fashion and the cleanup was done well. We are very happy with the work that was done and will be having Staightline back in the spring to do work in our downstairs bathroom."

"Due to a leak in our main bathroom, my husband and I were forced to make repairs and long overdue renovations. We decided to gut the bathroom and start fresh and decided to hire Straightline Renovations and Repairs based on positive reviews. Kris Krieg was both professional and personable. For two weeks, he worked in our home everyday from early morning until late afternoon. I had a very specific vision for the bathroom and Kris not only listened to what I wanted but also offered some suggestions of his own which made the end result even better. We are thrilled with our new bathroom and would highly recommend Straighline Renovations and Repairs to anyone wanting or needing work done in their home."

"After a flood in our kitchen that damaged our floors and lower cabinets we called Kris. Kris was able to fix the lower cabinets and replace our floors. His attention to detail was amazing. The floor looked fabulous. Shortly after we decided to sell and the biggest comment was on the beautiful floors in the kitchen. Now in our new house Kris was the first person we called to help with the bathroom renovation. Thank you Kris!!"

"Kris has done several jobs for us from bathroom renovations, installing laminate flooring to building fences. He is our go to guy for any work we need done. He is competitive price wise and get the job done on time."

"This was the first time we have hired a professional to do work in our home and were unsure what to expect. Kris was professional from day one and followed through with quality workmanship that stuck to the original timeline. We found the difference between what we were quoted and what the cost ended up being negligible, and actually a little lower than what we were expecting after we had added a few items to the list throughout the process. We would highly recommend Kris for your next project, he is very straight up if it is out of his area of expertise and has several trustworthy contacts that he can put you in touch with. Love, love, love my bathroom! Thank you Kris for such an outstanding job, looking forward to working with you on future projects!"

"We were very happy with the deck and fence work Kris did for us. The quality of the workmanship is excellent; the price was very reasonable and he took care of the clean up and disposal of all discarded wood. We're definitely keeping his number for any future needs down the road. Frank and Sandra Bucci."

"I would highly recommend Kris for any job. Kris is courteous, excellent work ethics, and finishes the project in a timely manner. I also was impressed with the financial assessment and the materials for the project. I would also like to personally thank Kris for the job on our back steps, I was thrilled when I came home from work to see the finished steps. Both my husband and I are so happy with Kris's work. Thanks Kris for your work, looking forward to have Kris redo our bathroom."

"I had Kris and others quote on taking down my existing fence and replace it with a pressure treated privacy fence. Kris responded the same day and was the best price. He showed up when he said he would and completed the job in the same week. I was very happy with the workmanship and professional way he handled himself. He removed all of the debris as promised. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to have this type of work done. 2 thumbs up."

"Kris completely renovated my narrow, old bathroom in my 1930s home, and I love it. He did an excellent job. He was able to maintain a couple of things for a vintage look and I consulted with him about the choice of tile for the floor and surround, and materials. He was so helpful and knowledgeable. He is reasonably priced, reliable, efficient, and clean - he cleaned every day and while he was working. I will definitely have him do more work for when I get around to the basement!"

"I’m very glad I was persistent in looking for a general contractor as Kris was good enough to reply to my first email looking for a quote and was gracious enough to provide it; even though he advised he wouldn’t be able to start the work for approximately 3-4 months. He contacted me and stayed in touch closer to the given start date; was punctual, got right to work and kept me informed during the process. He completed everything on time and left the work area as clean and tidy as possible. I am already in the process of scheduling another job with him-he’ll be installing a new deck in my backyard and I’m looking forward to more great work!"

"Kris did a great job fixing up our downstairs powder room. We had a leak in our upstairs bathroom that damaged the ceiling of our downstairs bathroom. We needed someone to replace all the ceiling drywall, fix damaged spots on the walls, and replace the toilet and ceiling fan while they were at it. Even though the job wasn't the biggest, Kris was willing to take it on and did a speedy and thorough job. He arrived each day when he said he would, did a careful job, and stuck to his quoted price despite having to fix a few unexpected things. I will definitely call Kris again for other renovations."

"Kris is very skilled and does excellent work I would highly recommend kris for any home renovation whether it be a indoor project or outdoor project straight line is the way to go."

"We hired Kris of Straightline Renovations because he was the only contractor that came in and gave us design ideas that made complete sense for the space. We have an old farmhouse and the bathroom was a disgust with a layout that made no sense and was completely dysfunctional. Kris really knows what he is doing and spent the time to ensure each phase of the project was completed meticulously. His tile work, design and installation is beautiful. It is obvious that Kris is a true craftsman and takes pride in his work! Although the project started a couple days late (which is to be expected in construction), the job was completed on time and on budget according to estimate. I must say I wasn't thrilled with having to go out and source materials but this is the only way you can get what you want. We trusted Kris with the keys to the house and would do so anytime. Not only did he complete the project he was hired for, he also fixed a plumbing drainage issue created by a previous contractor we hired to do the kitchen. There was a minor call-back issue but Kris was quick to respond to rectify the issue. As a result of our excellent experience with Kris, we also hired him to install a laundry sink/cabinet, rough in the laundry plumbing, install baseboards everywhere else and lay tile in the entranceway. Everything was completed beautifully and we would not hesitate to highly recommend him."

"Kris was great to work with if you have a project in ur house to do, reasonable pricing and very helpful information if he needs something he gives you enough notice and give you the best honest opinions and options, will be getting him back to our house for a few more project!!"

"Kris built our bathroom from the studs out. All the work was done in a timely manner, clean and on budget. The ceramic was very good, straight lines and precise. The plumbing is leak free and all in good working order. What makes Kris professional is that he returns his calls, keeps you informed on how things are going and is always willing to help ensure the project goes smoothly. I am a happy repeat customer."

"Kris built us a lovely deck in our backyard. 22 x 16 with a grand staircase and a louvered privacy wall. I would recommend Kris."

"We’ve been using Kris’s service for more than 3 years over anything and everything around the house, inside and out. Very professional, reasonable, always deliver within the time frame given and we are always happy with the end result. Can’t ask for anyone better."

"I have used Kris for repeat jobs, most recently my new front porch. His attention to detail is outstanding and his price is always great. He comes when he says he will and always on time! He can help you with ideas and design planning and works hard, even in testing temperatures and conditions. My front porch is awesome, I love how it turned out. Totally recommend Kris for any job."

"First off I like to comment on how professional Kris is. He set appointment times that were convenient for me and was on time if not early for them. Kris came in under budget and build me a sturdy, great looking fence and gate that is definitely going to last. Then Kris went above and beyond. As it turns out the gate that we both thought, would be large enough to fit a neighbors riding mower through to assist me in cutting my back lawn was not. Once we had found what was done would not work for me Kris later returned. He then turned part of the front fence area into a double gate creating a solution for my problem. Not only did he just charge me cost for the hardware to create the second gate he did not charge me one penny for the extra two hours labour it took him to add the second gate in. I have every intention on his and Kris next summer to complete the remainder of my fence work and also looking to get a quote on a bathroom in a finished basement I’m currently working on. Kris charges reasonable rates for exceptional work!"

"My bathroom is beautiful! Kris does quality work. Was there at the time he said he would be everyday. Kris was very particular you can tell he takes pride in his work. I would highly recommend him and would use him again."

"I am very pleased with the work Kris completed for me in my kitchen and two bathrooms. I have a historic home, so it was important to me that the renovations tied in with its character. He installed my cabinets, countertops, sink, flooring, drywall, plumbing, shower, tile, and even relocated the original claw tub from the main bathroom, to my master ensuite. Kris is very hardworking, trustworthy, reliable, and fair with his prices. I appreciated his suggestions and attention to detail. I’ve now decided to have Straightline Renovations and Repairs finish my basement, attic space, main floor laundry and fencing in my back yard. I’m confident I’ll be just as happy with the outcome! Thanks again Kris! Michelle"

"Kris from Straightline Renovations and Repairs made a full renovation of our washroom. Kris provided us with a detailed quote for the job, as well as a start and finish date. He completed the job on time and exceeded our expectations. We were very happy with the service we received from Straightline Renovations. Very professional, punctual, clean and with a lot of attention to detail. He gave us great suggestions and also listened. We had a very old washroom with a bathtub and he turned it into a modern, clean line washroom with new floor, tiling, shower with glass door, etc. He also redid the walls in the washroom and most important all the plumbing. We will definitely use Straightline Renovations again and we highly recommend them. Thank you, Veronica and Juan"

"I am happy that I choose Straightline Renovation and Repairs to do our renovations and Fence. Kris provided very fast feedbacks during the estimate and quoting period. He is trustable and helpful. If anything he could not do or do not have enough time to finish, he will tell you ahead. For example, he told me when he did estimate for our renovation that he will not repair any electric issues. However, he could help me contact a qualified electrician to fix those issues. He is self-disciplined. During the renovation period for our house, Kris came at 8 am every day. If he got some other appointments, he notified me ahead. He is very hard-working as well. If he could not complete his plan of the day, he would work on it until he finished up. We were very pleased about his work quality. I believe the price was reasonable with his premium quality!"

"I am very satisfied with my experiences with Straightline. Kris built a shower and tiled over a very difficult floor. He continued the tile up the stairs and into the mudroom. The work was well thought out and carefully done. I had Kris back to help renovate the kitchen. Demolition, drywall, and tile the floor and stairs. Another job well done. Kris is honest and his prices are fair."

"I hired Kris, Straightline Renovations and Repairs about five years ago for a main bathroom remodel. Since then, the work has ascended to completing other rooms in my homes, decks and fencing as well as any referrals I have given out to others. For the last five years Kris' work has been professional, efficient and all the while keeping me within the budget I felt comfortable with."

"The house is 1950's complete with that era fixtures and fittings. In the bathroom Kris replaced the vanity and toilet, and installed a storage cabinet. He also removed and replaced the ceramic floor tiles and all the trim and finished by painting the whole bathroom. The plumbing entailed removing parts of the original cast iron and copper piping and reconnecting with updated fittings. Kris also replaced all closet and room doors on the three bedroomed main floor, and painted these. An excellent tradesman that takes pride in his work. He responded with an estimate in a timely manner, and stayed on budget. He is always prompt and gives you an arrival time. If he is going to be delayed he phones to advise."

"I am totally impressed with Kris's skill and abilities. There were several nasty surprises uncovered in the reno process but Kris handled everything with calm efficiency. The work is top notch. He is a true professional. I am a high strung, nervous person and was dreading overseeing the project but a testament to Kris's skill and demeanor is how calm I was through it all. And I couldn't be happier with the final result."

"We have used Kris' services for the last 9 or 10 years. During this time, he has completely redone a washroom, our rec room as well as our kitchen. We have already hired him to re-do our laundry room. In each case, my wife and I have been more than happy with the results and have no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends. John and Liz"

"My home was built in 1923. I removed many layers of wallpaper in the livingroom and discovered the walls were a mess. I hired Kris to replace, with drywall. 2 plaster walls and a ceiling, and repair the other 2 plaster walls in my livingroom. There were many cracks, holes and crumbling plaster, and nothing was square. The work made the walls straight and smooth and ready for paint---beautiful job. Kris removed, with care, and re-installed all the original trim and woodwork, He kept everything very clean and tidy. The work was done exactly how we discussed and it was finished in the time he quoted. I am very, very pleased with his work. So much so I am hiring him to renovate my bathroom. I am extremely satisfied with the work done in the renovation of my bathroom. Kris did a complete gut of the existing bathroom as well as removing an unused attic staircase to gain more square footage. A very big job! And the end result is amazing-all new plumbing, walls, doors, ceiling, flooring and all fixtures. The tile work is lovely with inlay accent. All work was done on schedule and as quoted. Kris took away all debris and left everything neat and tidy. After all was completed there was a very small plumbing concern which was addressed immediately. This is the third job I have had done by Kris and I highly recommend Straightline Renovations."
